I am going to list some of my fig varieties. If anyone knows which ones are more cold hardy and which ones are the least cold hardy, please let me know. CDD Roja has leaves turning yellow and falling off. It still has figs that have not swelled yet. One of the figs is turning colors but not swelling. I have a feeling that CDD Roja might be one of the least cold hardy but I don't know. I might bring it indoors to try to ripen the figs. Here is the list. If you know which ones are least cold hardy, it will help me prepare for winter. If anyone else wants to list their figs to do the same, you can use this thread too.

Strawberry Verte
EBT
VdB
VdS
I-258
CDD Roja
Schar Israel
Dr Gowaty
GXY
SoCal Sunset
WM#1
Violeta
Green Ischia
 
Since you are in zone 8B, your definition and my definition of cold hardy might be different :)

From the list, I only recognize VdB as a bit cold hardy. Enough for me to try to see if it will fruit in-ground for me in Zone 5B. It has been in pot 1 year and 1st winter in ground. So I will see how cold hardy it is. Probably not enough to with stand the -18F we got this week!
